" You haven't answered my question yet, why are you stalking me? " Xia Yu shoved down her excitement and turned back to the matter at hand.
" is it wrong for me to stalk my fiancee? " Fu Chen arched up a brow
" You are the man I'm about to be engaged to? " Xia Yu was flabbergasted at the revelation.
Fu Chen arched up a brow. " Why do you look so shocked? Don't tell me that you never investigated my identity? You really didn't. "
His face turned indifferent but his eyes showed his clear disappointment.
" it's not like I didn't think of it but I just didn't think it was important." Xia Yu avoided eye contact with Fu Chen.
She was kind of feeling guilty at this point, he had already investigated and found out about her background but she did nothing she didn't even think of investigating his own background or what he looks like. He was her fiance already betrolled and about being engaged but she still didn't think it was important to find out his background since the apocalypse will be happening soon and it wasn't worth finding out about him that she won't spend the rest of her life with.
She's so cute and adorable, do way her eyes avoids mine is so enticing.
" Why don't we find a place and sit down to talk, it's the first time we're going to have conversation, we should at least know each other before we get married." Fu Chen said as he led her to a cafe.
They both scrutinize each other neither of them wants to give up to the other person.
" Why do you want to marry me, do I look cheap or is there something you want for me." Xia Yu broke the awkward silence.
" There is something I need from you and that is you to be my wife."
Is this dude crazy or is he having a mental breakdown? How would I be able to cope married to him like him.
Xia Yu chuckled nervously and took a sip of her coffee. She was disgusted by the taste of the coffee.
Fu Chen noticed her disgust for the coffee, he tasted the coffee in front of him and didn't find anything wrong with it.
" what's wrong don't you like coffee or is this not to your taste."
Xia Yu looked up from her cup bewildered by Fu Chen's attention to her feelings.
"I just.... I prefer it to be a little sweeter than usual. It may not be the way others like it but I prefer it that way I don't really like it black I like it sweet." Xia Yu said in a soft voice she didn't even know she had.
Fu Chen smiled at her, he picked up three cubes of sugar for her and put it in.
Xia Yu looked at him and smiled slightly, her heart started beating and fluttering, it's something she didn't feel even with Qin Bai.
She just smiled, it's very beautiful, who would have thought she had such a gentle and enchanting side to her.
What the hell? Xia Yu was shocked by Fu Chen's thought.
Maybe if I ask him a question, he can think about it and I can read his mind. Genius.
" So since we are talking now I want to ask you a question? Do you like me? I can't think of any reason why you would agree marry a girl like me. " Xia Yu cleared her mind of any distractions and listened closely to Fu Chen's mind.
Why is she asking me that? Do I really love her ? I mean do I like her? if constantly wanting to see her is liking her or if just the thought of her makes me happy then yes I love her. But I am so not going to let her know, she might mock me later.
" let's just say I'm interested in your personality. I find it in intriguing. "
Xia Yu laughed softly, looks like it's true, people's words really betray their true thoughts.
" You have a beautiful smile " Fu Chen blurted out.
Xia Yu blushed, " thanks. "
He seems trust worthy, maybe this marriage is not so bad after all.
" Since you seems so in love with me I'm going to give you a chance, prove your worth before our marriage and let's see if you can make me fall in love with you. "
Fu Chen was stunned by Xia Yu's words. How did she read my mind. No! It's impossible, she couldn't have read my mind right?
" When did I say I'm in love with you, I am not in love with you. You can play hard to get but I'm not going to try to win you over. "
" We'll see " was all Xia Yu said.
Fu Chen gulped down the piping hot coffee to mask and disperse the tension building inside him.
" anyway since that's settled, I need your help with something. "

" Boss why do you think the young miss asked you to invite a reporter over? " Er Mao asked.
" I'm guessing it has something to do with her ex boyfriend. " Fu Chen replied.

Meanwhile Xia Yu was having a conversation with the reporter.
" Mrs Wu it's a pleasure to meet you, thank you for agreeing to see me on such short notice. "
" The pleasure is mine, I actually owe Mr fun a lot of favors. So how can I help you. " Mrs Wu asked.
" I recently found out that my boyfriend and my best friend have been cheating on me, so I want to expose them. I have all the evidence and I will give you a statement which you can include in the news. I also plan to confront them openly but I gonna need your help to cover every single bit of it. " Xia Yu could feel her anger and sadness trying to erupt again and took in deep breaths.
No matter how much she told herself that she is not sad, it doesn't hurt, they are not worth her pain or tears, deep down she knows that is a lie. Everything was a lie from day one, the love she thought she had finally grasped had disappeared like it was never.
It didn't matter how hard she tried, she knew it was only a matter of time before she fully broke down because to her it was real, the memories are still etched in her mind constantly reminding her of her foolishness and it hurts really bad. The only problem is she has no one to cry on, no shoulder to lean on, no arms to pull her into a warm embrace and tell her everything will be fine. She has no one capable of giving her that warmth she so much desire's.
